Dear MoveOn member,<\/span><\/p>\n


\nNext week could be our last big chance to push for real health care reform<\/span><\/span>\u2014and we need a massive show of support to make a major impression on lawmakers in Washington.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s what’s happening: Thursday, President Obama is holding a bipartisan health care summit with Congress. With all of Washington and the news media focused on health care leading up to the summit, it’s a crucial opportunity to make clear that Americans want Congress to get health care done now. <\/span><\/p>\n

So we’re organizing our biggest, movement-wide day of action for health care reform yet: a Virtual March for Real Health Care Reform on February 24th. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Together with progressive allies, we’re aiming to send a million messages to Congress demanding they stand up and finish health care reform. It’s going to be huge, historic, and fun.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Can you sign up today to join the Virtual March? <\/span><\/span>It’s simple to sign up\u2014and when you do, we’ll automatically send a fax in your name to Sens. Kerry and Brown. Click the link below\u2014it’ll sign you up and send a fax in your name to your senators.

This is it. If you’ve never taken action on health care, now’s the time to jump in. <\/span><\/span>And if you’ve taken action every time, we need you now more than ever.\u00a0 To do this right, we need as many people as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

The March is shaping up to be huge. With allies from labor, progressive blogs, Health Care for America Now, and others, we’ll have the phones, fax machines, email inboxes, and Facebook walls of Congress flooded with messages of support for real reform.<\/span><\/p>\n

And at the same time, hundreds of folks will also be marching through Washington, D.C. to Capitol Hill in honor of Melanie Shouse, a MoveOn Council leader in St. Louis who recently passed away from breast cancer\u2014while still fighting her insurance company for coverage, and organizing tirelessly to pass real health care reform.1<\/sup> Together, we’ll send an unmistakable message to Congress.
